The periodontal ligament–periosteum axis: An underexplored pathway for alveolar bone adaptation

Jun 27, 2026 by in Orthodontics Comments Off on The periodontal ligament–periosteum axis: An underexplored pathway for alveolar bone adaptation
The periodontal ligament (PDL) and periosteum are mechanosensitive tissues essential for alveolar bone maintenance, remodeling, and regeneration. Their functional interplay, particularly during orthodontic tooth movement, remains underexplored. This review introduces…

Clinically oriented deep learning system integrating linear and morphological assessment for external orthodontic root resorption

Jun 27, 2026 by in Orthodontics Comments Off on Clinically oriented deep learning system integrating linear and morphological assessment for external orthodontic root resorption
Introduction Manual linear assessment, a classic method for evaluating orthodontic external root resorption (OERR), has limitations: unreliable dento-osseous junction identification and operator variability, time-consuming measurements, and inability to capture 3-dimensional…
